Wadey -> Training To Failure (Apr. 21 2008 14:43:41)

I am wondering what peoples preferences are concerning training to failure. Do you fail on last rep last set or last few reps or fail on every set?

Also is training to failure only advisable on a bulk?

Thanks

Very much a debated subject.

There was a very good 3-4 page discussion on here a month or so ago which had alot of people stating their opinions.

It's all about the effect training to failure has on the central nervous system. I myself am one of those people that believes that over training is more down to under eating, but only to a certain extent obviously. I don't believe that training every muscle everyday with 20 sets can be done if you are eating 15,000 cals..

I generaly do my compound lifts with 5x5's or building up to a 5x5 with say 5,5,4,4,3. If I complete a 5x5 the last 3 sets will be to failure in the respect that I could not push out another rep. The first two I may be able to manage 6 or 7 reps.

I'll have a look for that thread now. If I can't find it someone who posted in it probably will.

its all down to

volume * frequency * intensity = gains

As you increase intensity your frequency or volume are going to have to reduced to keep getting the good gains.
if you decrease intensity your have to increase either volume or frequency or a bit to both.

thats it summend up simiply. It does get a bit more complex when people build up to comps / diet / drugs / genetics etc also have there little factors as well.
